This time, Ling Yiran did not ask for a driver but drove off alone in a car.
She drove to the destination. Yi Jinli's men were quite surprised to see her. "Young Madam, what are you..."
"I’m here to see my mentor and his wife. Is there a problem with that?" Ling Yiran asked in reply.
"But Young Master Yi..."
"How could I have found this place if Jin wasn’t the one who told me my mentor and his wife are here? Get out of the way!" snapped Ling Yiran.
These people knew how important Ling Yiran was to Yi Jinli. They dared not say anything more and stepped aside.
Ling Yiran entered the shabby apartment, only to see her mentor sitting on the chair beside the bed with one hand tightly holding Mrs. Kang's hand. His head kept nodding. He was obviously extremely sleepy.
Mrs. Kang lay on a broken bed. She was probably asleep but did not seem to be sleeping well. Her face was flushed as she panted for air. Her hair was stuck to her forehead due to the sweat.
Ling Yiran stepped forward and reached out her hand to touch Mrs. Kang's forehead. She felt her palm burning, and her action startled Old Lawyer Kang, who woke up.
"Yiran? Why... Why are you here?" stammered Old Lawyer Kang.
"It's a long story, Mentor. I'm taking Mrs. Kang to the hospital right now," said Ling Yiran. Mrs. Kang's condition would probably worsen if they did not get to the hospital.
Old Lawyer Kang quickly asked, "Has... Has Jinli forgiven my wife?"
During the day, he had tried to persuade his wife to go to the hospital but she said, "I... I'm not leaving... If… If you take me to the hospital before Jin forgives me, I... I'll never forgive you!"
After learning about Mrs. Kang's unwillingness to go to the hospital from her mentor, Ling Yiran frowned deeply and finally said as if she had made up her mind, "I'm the one who’s taking Mrs. Kang to the hospital. It has nothing to do with you, Mentor. Mrs. Kang can just hate me if she wants to!"
Ling Yiran said as she helped Mrs. Kang out of bed and let Old Lawyer Kang put Mrs. Kang on her back.
Mrs. Kang opened her eyes in a daze, subconsciously struggling. "Who... I... Don't touch me. I... I'm staying right here. I'm not going anywhere. I... I'll wait until my son forgives me... I... I'll wait for Jinli..."
Ling Yiran said, "Mrs. Kang, it's me! Jin... told me to take you to the hospital!" She could only lie.
Mrs. Kang stopped struggling. "Has... Has he forgiven me?"
